At the ancient top of the Great Wall, it offers the taste of Northeastern China to food lovers from home and abroad.
With a history of more than two thousand years, spanning over one hundred thousand miles, the Great Wall is not only a long-standing military defense project, but also a symbol of world cultural heritage and national spirit. Mutianyu Great Wall attracts more and more domestic and foreign tourists with its ever-changing natural scenery and ancient cultural power, and has become the first choice for famous scenic spots that people want to visit. Jilin City has a history of 2200 years, is a national historical and cultural city, an excellent tourist city in China, and is also known as "Da Dong". Guobaorou is a Northeastern Chinese specialty food that is deeply loved by people. It is also a Chinese food business card that has been promoted to the world. The collision of the Great Wall culture and food culture has created a unique spark on the Great Wall.
The event kicked off with song and dance performance. The culinary master, Li Shicong, with his rich cooking experience and superb cooking skills, made a special Guobaorou on site - the twelve zodiac Guobaorou, which includes 12 flavors such as durian, mango, Thai-style, cumin, and so on. This innovative cook had a complete color, fragrance, and taste, and was favored by the tourists on site.
"I happened to come to visit Mutianyu Great Wall today and coincidentally encountered Guobaorou made by gold medal chefs on the Great Wall. I'm so lucky! Look at the golden color! I couldn't help but drool. It's really tempting," said Ms. Liu, a tourist.
The gold medal chefs took turns showcasing their special skills in making Guobaorou, attracting both adults and children to line up eagerly, looking forward to tasting the fresh Guobaorou. Visitors enjoyed the singing and dancing performances while savoring the delicious and sweet Guobaorou. Occasionally, they would look out into the distance at the majestic mountains and marvel at the grandeur of the Great Wall.
This Guobaorou tasting event at Mutianyu Great Wall is a new attempt to blend the culture of the Great Wall with the culture of food, and it further enhances the reputation of the northern city as a cultural and tourism destination.
